Buck Rogers

Photograph of a full electro-mechanical playfield seen under glass in its cabinet, with the coin door and two red FREE PLAY windows visible at the bottom. The top half is packed with bumpers, drop targets and star bursts in orange, gold, red and teal on a black starfield; the lower half is dominated by a huge fan of value lanes carrying white-on-black numerals from 1000 up to 20000, arranged as a wedge radiating downwards. A blond cartoon space hero in a blue and orange space suit leans forward at left beside a red-and-white rocket, a dark-haired woman in a green and white outfit aims a ray gun from the right, a pale figure in a white bubble helmet stands at upper left, and an elderly bald moustached man peers out of the centre. Below the lanes sits a red, black and cream shield reading SAME PLAYER SHOOTS AGAIN, WHEN LIT. Two pale mint-green instruction cards with dense black print occupy the lower playfield, flanked by a cursive signature and copyright line. Two flippers with red and white striped sleeves point inward above the drain.

Illuminated pinball backglass with a black starfield background and a huge yellow-and-orange sunburst of orange, red and yellow rays radiating from behind the centre. Across the top, in a curving two-line logo, are the words 'BUCK ROGERS' in enormous white block capitals with heavy black drop shadow and gold inner shading, with a smaller cursive word above it. Four red-framed rectangular score windows with cyan seven-segment digits sit symmetrically: two 6-digit panels on the left (players 1 and 3) and two 5-digit panels on the right (players 2 and 4), each numbered in a small yellow-on-red square at the outer edge. Two human figures dominate the centre: at left a bare-breasted woman with tanned skin, heavy blue eye shadow, red lips, a large golden horned headdress like a ram skull, a beaded gold breastplate, gold arm bands, a beaded fringed hip girdle and a long gold chain, standing facing the viewer with one hand raised palm-up; behind her at right a clean-shaven man with side-parted brown hair in a white and pale-blue high-collared space suit with a dark belt and a badge, pointing a chunky ray-gun pistol directly out of the frame. Around them float red and blue spacecraft, a red rocket, a craggy pinkish asteroid, a chrome ringed planet, a cream-coloured mountain peak and a fuchsia brain-like rock. Small cream text on the left reads 'HIGH GAME TO DATE' above a cyan three-digit window, and 'GAME OVER' in red at the right. Art style is heavily airbrushed fantasy illustration with glowing highlights.
